Electric Bicycle Maintenance,
Part DIY and Part Pro
• Inflating the tire(s)
o Tire pressure is highly customizable, depending upon the weight of the
rider, type of terrain, weather, tire volume and the width of the rim. The
best thing to do is to get a small pressure gauge which is portable and
play around with tire pressure until it feels right.
• Electric Bicycle Upkeep for Professional Mechanics
o Electric bicycles with technologically advanced computer systems,
batteries and throttles are best left to the experts for servicing during tune-
ups. These professionals have special diagnostic tools to diagnose, tune-
up and fix certain maintenance items competently. On some models, the
computers are even locked, and a professional must be the one to
perform the servicing. Generally speaking, advanced knowledge and
specific tools are needed to tune-up and service electric bicycles well.
